Nebraska Trailer Dweller Arrested for Accidental Shooting of Neighbor

A rural Columbus man has been charged with third-degree assault after accidentally shooting his neighbor late Thursday night.
According to the Platte County Sheriff’s Office, 30-year-old Trent Kowalski was conducting target practice inside his Collegeview Trailer Park residence around 10:45 p.m. Thursday when the accident occurred.
The sheriff’s office says Kowalski was shooting a .22-caliber rifle inside his home at 6034 55th St. No. 545 when a bullet exited the residence and struck 57-year-old Mark Foxvog in the leg.
Kowalski was arrested and taken to the Platte County Detention Facility, where he was still being held Saturday morning. No bond had been set.
The sheriff’s office and Nebraska State Patrol responded to the shooting, which is still under investigation.
I wonder why he was taken to jail immediately and not AFTER a lengthy investigation?
Target practice INSIDE the trailer, did you get that?
